    The Dream Magic Experiment

    High Waves and the Orange Cliff

    (dreamed this in the afternoon)

    I was lining up for a ticket. I saw Nimz with a few others I'm not familiar with. People lined up (facing in my direction), not sure for what but I was thinking it's for buying a ticket for a ride. It reminds me of the line in train stations. At first, there was only one line, and then there were two. Nimz and his companions tried to start a third one between the two lines, but his companions decided to line at the back of one of the two other lines, leaving him alone in the center. Eventually, he decided to line up behind.

    I went ahead. I already had my ticket. I rode the boat. I'm not sure if I was supposed to wait for Nimz. I don't have any memory of us talking. I remember having to put down my ticket at the entrance box. I think my number was 438, close to ticket 420. I sat on the right side of the boat/ship looking at the port, wondering why I didn't wait for Nimz.

    One of our high school teachers was a "guide" in the boat. Ms. Barcelona. She started a prayer and I recited along but forgot the words. It's a familiar prayer. After the prayer, the boat started to move. I saw us back away from the port and move towards open waters.

    I saw then that the boat was small, probably only about three to four meters high, no more. I was wondering how it will survive the open waters. Then I saw I was headed east or west, but not north. I was aiming for north. I also saw the tall waves, higher than our boat was long, but nobody in the boat was panicking, except for me.

    I saw an orange cliff in the middle of the waters, the waves breaking into it, constantly almost-hiding it under the choppy waters but not completely. I asked Ms. Barcelona where we're headed. I expected "Iloilo", but she said "Cebu", which is even farther than I thought. I told her I took the wrong boat: I was heading for Manila.

    We were facing another wave, which carried us very close to the cliff, almost hitting it. I told them I had to go down, although I doubted they would go back to port for my sake alone. Fortunately, we moved to a nearby island. As soon as I was near the shore, I jumped down on the sand. I climbed something like a wall or cliff. When I reached about two meters up, I saw there were others on the shore. I'm not sure if they got off the boat like myself or if they were already there.

    I went down "the other side" of the wall/cliff and ran on the shore to where I thought some people would be. The surrounding "cliffs" turned to walls and ruins. I was thinking I was in a forest and talking to someone about hunting wild boar, if I'm ready for it. I kept running.

    NOTES:

    - This was a very vivid dream. At one point, I became lucid, but cannot control anything. It was very quick lucidity.
    - I think this one is rather easy to interpret in light with my recent concerns.
    - I haven't had dreams this vivid in a while. I've been forgetting to write my dreams.

      Interpretation:

      I was detached at the first part of the dream, at the port. I think this is telling of my attempts to detach myself from my surrounding and from people. However, when I was in the open sea, I was easily disturbed when others weren't. This could signify what I try to present and what I "truly" feel. I also sensed a hint of jealousy at other people's companionship when I saw Nimz with others. I was thinking last night that I don't have a friend from my very early years who is still a close friend. Most of the people in my life are pretty recent, and reflecting back in my life, this has usually been the case.

      The sea in dreams can represent life, but I'm not sure if this is always the case. In this case, I think it does. I've been feeling lost (again) lately, that I don't know what direction of life I'm headed. I also feel that I'm being forced into a direction where I don't want to go, seeing only dangers ahead, but people either don't notice it or they don't see them as dangers. I wanted to bail out, but I'm concerned whether I'd be allowed.

      I found the prayer amusing. I believe it was a prayer before meals, but I couldn't quite remember the words.
